CLASS 46 IRWIN SWIRSKY 76 Bronson Terrace Springfield, Massachusetts CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL, 1943-1945 MONSON ACADEMY, 1945-1946 Swirsk What say? A rabid swing enthusiast, Swirsk can handle a clarinet deftly styled along the Kenton manner. Conscientious, a highly capable worker, Swirsk is critical and strange in his moods. He has found refuge in sports when away from music scores. Always dependable, Irwin has traits necessary for a successful business career after graduation from Middlebury College. Soccer 1945 I. V.

One of the great school promoters of Anglo-Syrian relations and an expert on Oriental rugs and modern-fashioned clothes, Sennacherib was an impeccable dresser. Naturally big and loud, he does everything the way he plays football, hard but clean. Diligent and industrious, Baldy was inclined to be stubborn at times, and we will always remem- ber his familiar refrain uttered in desperation, 1'm sick and tired of the whole ting. Bob's aspirations are to graduate from Dartmouth and become a prominent lawyer. Football Co-Captain 1945 Glee Club Yearbook Committee 1 , ..-i.+.. .,,. . . i.

CHARLES MOTLEY PALMER 123 Orchard Street West Somerville, Massachusetts DEAN ACADEMY, 1942-1944 MONSON ACADEMY, 1944-1946 Chuck Thoughts of beauties, rest, and study will always bring to mind that congenial gentleman from Somerville. Chuck was full of understand- ing, and his passion for repartee always showed an alert, active interest in his associations. He abhorred the thought of violent physical exertion, for that involved too much work. A shelf of excellent books and a sur- rounding of glamorous pin-ups were more to his liking. Chuck plans to enter Tufts and then become a school teacher. I. V. Basketball 1946 I. V.

ROBERT CARL WAUGH 7 Greenhurst Road West Hartford, Connecticut WILLIAM HALL HIGH SCHOOL, 1942-1943 MONSON ACADEMY, 1943-1946 Bob The humble, sincere qualities of a human cannot be expressed more vividly than in Bob's character. Unassuming, pious, and intelligent, Bob always managed to keep above the middle of the class, in aca- demic work. Instilled with the virtue of patience, Bob will become a noteworthy teacher after he receives his degree at Colgate University. PAUL THORNTON WELCH 6 Orchard Street Middletown, New York MONSON ACADEMY, 1941-1946 Reverend That's c1assic. Initiative, determination were the aspects that Paul possessed when he conceived the yearbook in its infancy. Utter fidelity to the fulfillment of that cause is the result of the success of the book. Through his un- ceasing efforts and time, his contributions were beyond the imaginative. Scholarly and suave, the reverend found time to participate on the field of sports, and in the classroom his work was unexcelled. A youth of learning and virtue, he was held in the highest esteem by all the masters and students alike. Paul intends to study at Tufts for a medical degree. Soccer 1943-1945 Baseball 1943-1945 1. V.
